Evidence Tells a Grisly Tale of Family, Not Panhandler in the Death of Maryland Woman

A high-profile murder case finally has
received the justice it deserves when police learned the truth of the husband
and step-daughters involvement in the victims death, instead of a panhandler as
was initially believed.

Initially, the victim Jacquelyn Smith was
thought to have met her demise by stabbing after being robbed during an act of
benevolence to a panhandler sitting at a traffic light. Her husband Keith Smith age 52 reported these
harrowing details to police.

Due to the terrifying nature of these
claims, the case made national headlines, leaving many people filled with fear,
questioning if it is worth the risk to reach out to those in need.

Finally, after months of faulty
information and feared panhandlers, the evidence is overwhelming, proving that
the story is false. Police Commissioner
Michael Harrison confirmed the initial story held no truth and subsequently,
Keith Smith and his Valeria Smith (daughter) would face first-degree murder
charges. The perpetrators were arrested
in the nick of time as it appears, they were intending to flee the
country. Thankfully law enforcement was
able to apprehend them in Harlingen, Texas just before they reached the Mexican
border.

It is not currently known, from the
information provided by Harrison during the new conference, what part each of
the two perpetrators played in the grisly death of their wife and
step-mother. Additionally, at the
present time no motive has been alluded to.
Harrison took time to comment on the news media coverage, that blew out
of proportion the false story of the victim’s death, leading to fear of crime
in Baltimore as people did not have all the facts. Local detectives were esteemed for their hard
work and dedication to find the true killer and ensure justice is served.

The original story, reported to police on
Dec 1, 2018, detailed Jacquelyn’s death occurring after she supposedly put down
her window in a kind act. She was
reportedly giving a young woman in need $10 to help her and her infant child. She had been moved to help after reading the
depressed woman’s sign asking for help to provide food for the baby. It was then alleged that an unseen man had
been placed to steal her wallet. A subsequent
struggle ensued, resulting in the victim being stabbed to death and the
panhandlers fleeing immediately.

After giving his falsified report of the
events that led to his wife’s death, Keith Smith had the audacity to lobby for
legislation banning panhandling at traffic lights, as well as providing the
media with extensive interviews. He
further hid his true colors by begging for the proposed legislation to be named
in memory of his deceased wife.
At this time, the
alleged perpetrators have not given a comment.
